October is Anti-Bullying Awareness Month:

 

We have been learning a pledge to be bully free, receiving morning reminders via the morning news about anti-bullying, and discussing bully prevention at our Quarter 2 Pep Rally. Next Wednesday, October 23, is Unity Day. We will wear Orange to be United against bullying. Together against bullying. UNITED for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Check out this website for resources and information about Unity Day and Bully Prevention and support. https://www.pacer.org/bullying/nbpm/unity-day.asp
